Interview advice

Jr has an assessment day for a job next week, various different sections, questions, individual assessments re reacting to situations, practical assessments and more social networking.

The last session is a reflective interview of the day, I've never done one so have no valuable input. We have talked about after each session trying to pick out one or two positives and negatives to remember, but presumably they don't just want you to talk for 5 mins solid.

Is there a good way to structure these, or is it really be prepared to follow where the interviewer leads?

Is he fully briefed on the policies and actions of Pol Pot?

He has a tattoo on his forehead

Thanks, this is how they work on the actual interview questions, STARR technique the final R is how it relates to their specific proposed role.

This reflective interview appears to be more pick up some things you did well and could do better on the day.

The employer sounds like a cunt.
Avoid.

My wife has just been offered a job at an FE College in Leicester. The HR department need more information about a gap in her CV. That gap occured between July and August 1993. One month, 33 fucking years ago, which occured at the end of her degree.

Dear FE, I went on a massive bender for a month to celebrate.
Now FO.
Yours etc...

AI processing

Yeah it feels like it - just no (adequate) human offering some reasonableness testing to the output.

Not necessarily. Many years ago, long before AI, a friend of mine interviewed for and was offered a fairly senior role managing a sales team at Cisco. The HR team refused to allow him to take up the role until he produced the certificate proving that he had completed the education he had listed on his CV, it was essentially a course that certified him to safely use a lathe. The college had been amalgamated a few years previously and he ended up having to pay the new college to access microfiche to get a copy.

Sometimes HR departments just be like that.

There are a couple of fellas on Instagram who post videos of them performing prank calls, some of which are amusing.

One of the recent ones involved ringing the HR department of a local firm to say they'd recently applied for a role at the company and wanted to clarify something included in their application.

Yes, it was true they'd been caught in a car with a prostitute during work time, but the vehicle was on a section of the car park which was council-owned rather than by the company. So effectively not an issue.

I’ve been interviewing folk all week. One bloke didn’t turn up, so my advice is to turn up. It helps tremendously.

Thanks

I'll pass that on

So turn up

Talk about Pol Pot

Job's as good as his
